 * Hi !
    First I would thank you for the plugin, it is very convenient.
 * I made some tests on a stagging website: the action is firing every 2 minutes
   with as_schedule_recurring_action() and I get stuck like I am with WP crons :
   it does not process anymore when there is no more visit on the website.
 * Is there a way to bypass the problem with the action scheduler or it’s technically
   not possible?
 * Thanks a lot.

 * Action Scheduler uses WP Cron to run. If you want Action Scheduler to run without
   traffic to the site, you need to setup `wp-cron.php` with an external cron job.
 * See the FAQ entries on actionscheduler.org:
